Flight Team to the Flight Deck: Marshall Richmond (2017-19) – First Officer, Legends Airways
Marshall was a team member for two years & served as our First Officer – Ground in 2019. He is now flying the Saab 340B for Legends & is based alongside us at Lakeland Linder International Airport. He resides nearby in his hometown of Winter Haven, Florida. In the future, he aims to fly for a major airline.
Marshall’s best memories of Flight Team were seeing everyone advance in levels of training, and the growth for all to go from the ones learning to the ones teaching. He placed top 10 in computer accuracy (E6B), ground trainer (simulator) & message drop in National Intercollegiate Flying Association (NIFA) Region IX competition.
He earned a bachelor’s degree in Aerospace Sciences from Polk State College & emphasized how his training with Polk State Aerospace & the Flight Team allowed his professional career to take off.
“The teamwork and leadership roles helped me prepare to work with other pilots and crew members,” he shared.
